So.... There's been almost no plot movement so far, but a TON of wildly invasive abuses of power from the now-CEO protagonist. Maybe this is intentional and is setting up some sort of comeuppance? But it's not fun to read, especially considering the author is also more famous and powerful now than when he wrote RPO. It's pretty awful, and I say that as an honest fan of the first book.

Massive privacy / consent issues here. Again. Which I'm sure will not be addressed. Again.

This has been almost entirely catch-up exposition so far, with no signs of that slowing down.
